Refer a Texas patient for insomnia treatment

How CBT-I helps patients

• Targets persistent insomnia: Treatment works on the sleep habits and thoughts that keep patients awake.
• Does not add a prescription: Patients learn practical strategies for improving sleep. Any changes to existing medication remain with the prescribing provider.
• Builds skills for the long term: A consistent sleep schedule and a plan for future setbacks help patients manage their sleep after treatment.

Why Texas providers refer to us

• Trained clinicians: Your patient sees a Texas-licensed clinician with training in CBT-I.
• Insurance billing: We check benefits before the first appointment and bill accepted plans directly.
• Straightforward intake: Our team contacts the patient and arranges the assessment. No formal referral form is required.

Specialist sleep care alongside ongoing therapy

Patients can continue seeing their therapist while completing CBT-I. Our work focuses on insomnia and complements the care they already receive.

• Treatment includes an individualized sleep schedule, strategies to reduce time awake in bed and help with sleep-related worry.
• The course has a defined focus and duration, with skills patients can practice between visits.
• Our clinician can share treatment progress to support your ongoing care.

Refer by fax, email or phone

Please send the patient’s full name, date of birth and contact information. You may include a medication list or relevant treatment history. Our intake team will contact the patient to schedule.

Patients may also schedule directly without a referral.

Patients to consider for referral

CBT-I may be appropriate for adults with:

• Difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking or early waking for three months or longer.
• Insomnia that persists alongside treated anxiety, depression or sleep apnea.
• A preference for treatment without additional sleep medication.

Insomnia and sleep apnea often occur together. We provide insomnia treatment, while partner providers treat apnea; our clinician coordinates referrals when needed.

What treatment involves in Texas

The first visit is a 50-minute assessment of sleep history, previous treatment and current medications. Most patients then attend six to eight weekly follow-up appointments. A daily sleep diary guides changes to the sleep schedule, and sessions address the habits and worries that interfere with sleep.

Most patients meet by video with a clinician licensed in Texas. A limited number of clinicians also offer in-person visits at our Dallas, Houston and Austin offices; availability is confirmed at booking. Patients must be in Texas during appointments.
